What does the person who performs Sa'y say at the beginning of his Sa'y
Question :
At the beginning of every circuit of the Sa'y is it permissible for me to say: "In the Name of Allâh. We begin with what Allâh and His Messenger ﷺ began with. Verily, As-Safa and Al-Marwah are from the symbols of Allâh." Or is this something that is an innovation (Bid'ah)?
Answer:
What is legislated is that the person says at the beginning of the first circuit of the Say: "Verily, As-Safa and Al- Marwah are from the symbols of Allâh," as the Prophet ﷺ did that. In reference to repeating that, we do not know of anything that proves its recommendation. It is also legislated for the person performing the Sa'y to make much remembrance of Allâh, supplication, glorification, praise, declaration of His being the only true God, magnification of His Greatness and seeking His forgiveness. The same applies to the Tawaf. This is due to the Prophet's statement:
"Verily, the Tawaf around the House, and the Sa'y between As- Safa and Al-Marwah, and the stoning of the pillars were only made to establish the remembrance of Allah."
This was recorded by Ahmad and Abu Dawud with a good chain of narration.
